Must Ride Short List

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby ihauntu2 on August 26th, 2013, 5:50 pm
Coasters: Raging Bull, Demon, Viper, X-Flight

Flats: Condor, King Chaos, Revolution, East River Crawler & Rue le Dodge

Don't Judge me, after 4 hours on the road including the full pain of 294, I have some road rage issues. That & my daughter is very competitive at bumper cars. Plus Rue is the only setup where you can make a car skip with a well placed hit.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

I love Sharpiro's creation: Bench the Ride... Gotta get on that everytime at the park. lol :lol:
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

1. X-Flight 17
2. American Eagle 14
3. Viper 12
4. Raging Bull and King Chaos11
6. Batman: The Ride 10
7. American Revolution and Giant Drop 8
9. Triple Play 5
10. Superman Ultimate Flight, Vertical Velocity, Condor, Fiddler's Fling, and Triple Play 4
15. Demon, Whizzer, and Orbit 3
18. Sky Trek Tower, Rue Le Dodge, East River Crawler and Ricochet 2
22. Ragin Cajun, Chubasco, Rapids, Loggers Run, Whirligig, and River Rocker 1

So X-Flight topped the list; no surprise there.
Our woodies took 2nd and 3rd.
Raging Bull and King Chaos tied for 4th. King Chaos is one of the best flat rides. Im surprised so many people in the next-to-go poll think it is on it's way out.

No mention of Scenic Railway, Columbia Carousel, Yankee Clipper, Little Dipper, or Spacely's Sprocket Rockets.

It's pretty safe to say that when Goliath comes out then Goliath will be on the tops of nearly every list
